Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

The flask serves as a physical and symbolic bridge: Ace hides it initially, later the Doctor and Ace discover ancestral ties that reveal how Fenric used artifacts (flask, chess set) to ensnare humans across centuries, completing a callback arc.
